Abstract

China has been exploring the trans-regional centralized jurisdiction(T-RCJ) on environmental resources cases in recent years, which is now varying from place to place in practice. There are some factors to decide the T-RCJ court, including ecosystem or ecological function area, nature of the case combined with river basin, and environmental resources caseload, population and the level of economic social development. T-RCJ can also be carried through a railway court, which implements the judicial mode of the unity of two or three traditional trials. T-RCJ can solve the issue of jurisdiction overlap between administrative division and judicial division. However, there are also some problems and limitations of T-RCJ in practice, such as the lack of legal basis, the undeveloped trans-regional degree, the inconvenience for filing lawsuits, and the difficulty to make the criminal cases under jurisdiction. Therefore, some innovations should be carried on to improve the T-RCJ.
